Стр. 269 - It is interesting to contemplate an entangled bank, clothed with many plants of many kinds, with birds singing on the bushes, with various insects flitting about, and with worms crawling through the damp earth...
Стр. 261 - What needs my Shakespeare for his honoured bones, The labour of an age in piled stones, Or that his hallowed relics should be hid Under a star-ypointing pyramid?

If at the present instant no life existed upon this earth, one such stone falling upon it might, by what we blindly call natural causes, lead to its becoming covered with vegetation.
Стр. 29 - If we consider the heavens, the work of his fingers, the moon and the stars which he has ordained...
Стр. 209 - Report on the Progress and Condition of the Royal Gardens at Kew during the Year 1875, p.
Стр. 237 - Newton and Raphael — are potential in the fires of the sun. We long to learn something of our origin. If the Evolution hypothesis be correct, even this unsatisfied yearning must have come to us across the ages which separate the primeval mist from the consciousness of to-day.
Стр. 190 - In the schools provided by the Board the Bible shall be read, and there shall be given such- explanations and such instruction therefrom in the principles of morality and religion as are suited to the capacities of children.
